A Song about an Irish soldier fighting in the American Civil war. This particular soldier thought that life in America, living through the horrors of war, was worse than living through famine in Ireland.
Beautiful, poignant and moving. So many Irish came over due to terrible strife in their homeland. Many ended up fighting in the Civil War, and left families behind. So sad. Well done!
Greetings from Ireland. A fantastic version of that song. On a par with Mary Blacks version. I see you haven't updated your channel for three years. Are you still playing?
From all western music, maybe. As i love the Irish folk music as much as you, i think you mistake western mainstream with all the world has to offer. Try Mongolian throat singing, or African or Brasilian native music if you are talking about the purest this world has to offer.
Great voice but wonder why the words were changed from lamentation to sad narration. Also musket to gun, coming to going etc Almost like it has been modernised for those with a limited vocabulary. Preferred the original words which David Kincaid does very well.
The rich yankee man still runs the country. Sold they belongs back in ireland an came here expecting to make fortune but ended up fighting another mans war. So touching this is so deep if you think about it still.
@@andriademzik755 did you know, all the US presidents are related to king John of England whom signed the Magna carta in 1215? All except one, the 8th president Martin van buren how was dutch. Funny it's not Obama huh lol. America hasn't even left the rule of a single family, so did America ever exist? This is on of my favorite songs, I like Linda thompsons version best but they a great job
Its cursed by those who try and dismantle it from the inside. It could be squashed quite fast. Lifelong Political Parasites, so corrupt if they retire, they run the Risk of being even more exposed then they are at this minute. I'm intrigued with your Theory, can you explain how George Washington was related to the King, because I know far more about his family then he ever did.
